Although the Mets won’t officially announce the remainder of Bobby’s Valentine’s coaching staff until later this week, it appears Orel Hershiser will not be a part of it.

With Charlie Hough already known to be the pitching coach, there was a chance Hershiser could be the Mets’ bench coach, but a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed this isn’t going to happen.

The Mets are apparently going to bring back two coaches who were recently vanquished. John Stearns, who was let go as bench coach at the beginning of this winter, is expected to be the third base coach, while Randy Neimann, fired back in ’99 at Yankee Stadium, is going to be the bullpen coach.

Dave Engle as the batting coach and Bobby Floyd as the bench coach are expected to join Hough and Mookie Wilson – the only holdover from last year’s staff. Engle is the former Twins catcher, while Floyd’s been with the Mets organization for 12 years.

Phillips said he is going to finalize everything upon Valentine’s return from Japan this week.
